growth is excellent in china. surprisingly relative to the rest of the world last six or nine months china has done pretty well. it has a higher risk profile than average but it is cheaper than the average country. look at it through the four, we like china. ashley: austria. what do they do in austria? >> they do a lot of different stuff. that market is not dominated by financials like the other markets in the world. so the fundamentals are great. the austrian market is the fourth best mar market in the country we follow the last 12 months. the only tough time is in the evaluation area. ashley: chile, taiwan, italy. not so great. >> unfortunately for chile, doesn't have anything going on for it. the third most expensive country to follow, high risk, no momentum, unfortunate for them. italy cheap, everything else is a disaster. taiwan less risky, poor evaluations, poor momentum, poor fundamentals. ashley: appreciated, thank you for being here. tracy: everything isn't a disaster. they are lovers. it is all you need.
